  • This lens comes with a 1-year Rokinon Seller Warranty, providing assurance for the purchase.
  • With a minimum focusing distance of 12" (30.48 cm), it allows for enhanced close-up fisheye shots.

👎 Cons

  • The fisheye effect, while distinctive, creates a dramatic, exaggerated perspective that may not be suitable for all types of photography.
  • This lens has a fixed 8mm focal length, limiting versatility compared to zoom lenses.
  • The lens is designed for Micro 4/3 Mount, restricting its direct compatibility to cameras with this specific mount.
  • While suitable for interior photography, the fisheye distortion may not be desired for architectural shots requiring straight lines.
  • The aperture range of T/3.5 - T/22, while functional, might be considered less bright than lenses with wider maximum apertures for very low light conditions.
